to prevent vapor lock, an auxiliary fuel pump is incorporated in the fuel delivery system. the wiring connections at the auxiliary fuel pump may not make proper contact, rendering the auxiliary fuel pump inoperative. driving under conditions of extremely high altitude, high temperatures, or fuel contamination, with the auxiliary fuel pump inoperative could allow vapor bubbles to form. this may lead to rough engine running and possible engine stalling.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will have the wiring connections to the auxiliary fuel pump soldered at no cost to owner.

Component

Vehicle Speed Control:Springs

Consequence of Defect

the involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". the two accelerator return springs located on top of engine may oscillate at high engine speeds, which may cause vibration noise and lead to premature spring fatigue and possible breakage. this may make it impossible for the accelerator system to return to idle speed.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install rubber sleeves over the return springs to preclude oscillation, without charge to owner.
